ANCIENT history

ANCIENT history somewhere says that murder will out" But no one in Apache county has ever imagined the circumstances con- nected with the destruction of the public records of the county some one year and a half ago would eyer be rcached-still, stranger things have happened, and stranger ones arc likely to happen, which are binding to the imaginations look ing into the future. The weary days of labor, buoyed mp by hope that assistance and succor would timely come and lend aid 10 the solving of this mystery, have long since been laid aside as a iruitless effort for the want of harmony and encpur- agement. Now that We rehc;rSe the tcstimony as given in before the examining court of the manner in which these records were obtained and destroyed, we feel grateful that something has been done after long months of trial, and that the vigi- lant eve has not yet closed upon the perpetrators of this malicious and wilful outrage.
 The destruction of these records was the nucleus of all the horror through which Apache county has passed during the past year and a half. It has caused her the greatest bulk of her indebtedness ny the depreciation of her credit, and the loss nearly of all means through which genuine and fraud ulent warrants could be recognized i; d blow so destructive as to cause the county to finger and falter un- der its effective and serious conse- quences, from which she has just been able to rise to look upon the dawn of a new era. Again, the ap- parent success which attended this dastardly outrage, has no doubt en- .couraged others which have since been inflicted upon the county.
 We warn the next grand jury to thoroughly and conscientiously in- vestigate the matter; spare none who are guilty, and bring such as are to justice, that they may learn public records are not intended to be carried off at the mid hour of night for the purpose of destrqnc- tion.

Mn. TEE, the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, has incurred the displeasure of the Critic? Will that paper tell Us why? Is it be cause he has the manliness to do his duty, despite the criticism of newspapers? Can it point out any good reason for Mr. Tee not serv- ing out his term? In short, is there any reason for that paper finding any fault at all with the Supervi- sors? Does it not know that with in the past few months general fund warrats have advanced from 50 cents on the dollar to so, and sal ary warrants to 90 cents, and that buyers are snapning them up as fast as offered at these figures? What docs the Critic mean? Is it trying to create distrust in our of ficia!s in order to again impair the credit of the county?

Gov. ZUECK, in his message tu the Legislature, makes good many sensible suggestions. He calls at tention to the inequalities at pres ent existing in the listing and val uation of property for purposes ot taxation, and recommends a Terri torial Board of Equalization.

IT BEHoovEs the eattlemen of the Territory to urge their representa- tires in the present Legislature, to pass stringent quarantine law, and provide means far its enforcement. Should pleuro-pncumonia oncegct a foot-hold in the Territory, there is no telling where it would stop, or how many persons thatare nov wealthy, would be left without a hoof. In such emergencies there is nothing like taking time hy the forelock. " It will not do Co wait until the dis ease is amongst our herds. It will then be too late. Now is the time for action. Let the cowmen make a note of this and at once go to work through their representatives to protect their property.

ON THE subject of jurors we think 1t would not be amiss to make q suggestion as to the kind which should be allowed in our courts. In most of the States and Territories the first qualification which a juror must possess, is his abilityto speak and understand the English tongue. If a German or a Frcnchnan is drawn as juror, and he discloses on examination his inability to speak English intclligently, the court of it's own motion will excuse him. Why any different rule "f practice should apply in our Terri tory is not clear. We have amongst Us men of various nationalities, and distinction is made in favor of our Mexican fellow-citizens
 While we in no way desire that any nationality should be tliscrim- mated against, still we maintain the proposition that jurors should possess, a sufficient knowledge of the English language to speak and understand the same. If such was the law of our statute books. the courts could be run at q much less expense to the county, and 8 won derful saving of time to parties, witnesses, jurors and officers.
 In conclusion we would suggest to the favorable consideration of our legislators, the advisabiiity of having an act passed to the end that only persons who can display familiarity with the English lam guage be permitted to sit as jurors.

Ii everything in the possession of a farmer, from chickens up, is con- sidcred assessable property, and be made pay taxes thereon, so should everything in the possession of q corporation be assessable and liable to taxation.

FOR THE benefit of our readers

FOR THE benefit of our readers, and more particularly for the ben eft of those insane persons who are working so lndustriously for a division of the county, we submit the following tabulated statement of expenses. We wish them to read carefully, ponder over them dis passlonately, al.d then act without bias or prejudice. Here are the figureS:

supervisors. JJJ Fees to County Recorder by coun-
 ty, about ...... 1,OO5 Contingent and incidental fund
 including ustice's fees, repairs
 to county buildings, board Of
 pri ouers. road fund, hounties
 on wild animals, etc . 5,000
 Total expenses ............. .$60 ,000
 These figures are taken from the records, with the exception of the court expenses, fees paid by county to County Recorderand contingent expenses, which are approximated at d low figure. Leaving out the interest Oh the countydcbt, We have an annual expense of $49,000 for the maintenance of the county gov ernnent
 Our readers must remember that local economy will not reduce the bulk of this expense. The interest on the county debt has to be paid, the proportion of territorial taxes, school taxes and salaries are fixed by the legislature.
 Whether the scheme for dismem- bcrmert includes adding a portion  of Yavapai county to the western half of Apache, or making the west ern portion of Apache into new county, the result, financially, will be the same.
 In the former the new county as sumes its share of the Apache debt and also it's due proportion of the debt of Yavapai; debt amount ing at the present time to nearly four hundred thousand dollars. In the latter, it assumes it's share of the debt of Apache county.
 The current annual expenses of Yavapai county arc fully equal, fl not greater than those of Apache, and 1t is unlikely that the expenses of a new county, would be less than those of either Apache or Yavapai at present.
 The credit of this county is lm- proving under tic new administra- ton, as witness the increased value of county warrants, which have in- creased thirty per cent face value.
 If the county remains intact, and the railroad pay their taxes, we shall have every prospect of getting into a fairly good financial posi- ton. On the other hand, whichever scheme of dismenberment was car ried out, the fact remains for the present taxpayers of Apache coun- ty to contemplate that they would have to support two sets of county officials instead of one.
 We think the taxpayers of this county will pause before they take this leap in the dark, as proposed to them, and we feel assured that many who now look with, favor up on the project, will upon reflection and consideration of the facts, dis cover that the welfare of the citi- zens and the prosperity of the coun ty alike forbid it's consunation.

Saving tsc Lives.

A Helena correspondent of the Chicago
Times relates the following story OF how a
Montana stage driver saved the lives OF
two of his passengers. It is somewhat re-
markable but nevertheless true, with the
exception that it occurred five years ago
instead of this winter: "The stages have
suffered terribly since the new year be-
gan. They have encountered mountain
drifts everywhere, end many have been
abandoned and lost. The drivers must
lave clear heads or they would lose both
themselves end passengers IN the dread
full bl1zzards that prevail in this country
from December to March. The position
of a stage driver in winter is not a happy
one. A driver running from Deer Lodge
to Missoula vas obliged TO hit upon a
stratagem 10 save the life of a woman and
her little child, vho we're the only passen-
gers. The cold was intense and the
mother and little enc were in danger OF
freezing 70 death. She had placed al her
wraps around the babe, till the driver saw
that drowsiress, the first stage OF freezing,
had fallen apoa the devoted He
put his buffalo eoet around her, but her
blood seemed to be ssegnxted and standing
still. Then he grew very harsh, ssized
the woman, dragged her from the coach,
and left her by the roadside. "oh, my
baby!7 the mother cried. The driver
cracked his chip, and the stage few over
the snow with the woman running afser.
The race was kept up fer nearly two miles
when the driver stepped, took the mother
in, and wrapped his coat and all the but
falo robes he had around her. by this
clever ruse he saved two lives, and drove
into the next station IS happy as only a
true-hearted, honest stage driver could
feel.

The Land Law Repeal Bills.

Washington special: The conference
repeating the presumption, timber culture
and desert land laws held a tWo hours SEES
sion today, and is further from an agree
ment char ever, although it was hoped
that some basis for q settlement Of the diff
ferences between the two houses would be
reached. The conference 0 the part Of
the house are Cobb, Stone Of Missouri, and
Strait. Cobb and Stone have had several
conferences with the commissioner of the
general land office within the past two
days, and appeared at the committee meet
ing today fully determined to insist upon
acquiescence to the terms to the house
bill. The commissioner favors the ex-
IRENE of the house bin. Senator Dolph
bore most Of tie discussion on the part OF
the senate conferrees, and declined to yield
any of the salisnt points of the senate bill
which the house confsrrees attacked. 1t
seemed, however, that the eighth section
of the senate bill, allowing contested cases
to be sent to the courts, would really prove
the rock On which these measures would
eventually split. The senate is detsrnin-
ed to stick to this lecture of its bill, and
the general land Office is IS firmly opposed
to it. Were this out of the way, it is not
unlikely an understanding might be reach
ed. The impression prevails that nothing
will be done with the bills this session.
At the meeting today the house cenferrees
aer reported to have openly charged their
fellows Of the senate with acting in bad
faith and with unwillinsDess to eonerorA-
Use the differences. Another meeting will
be held this week. There is declared TO
be an u~ndercurrent Of hostility to the
measures which it is not dseHsd polite
to publicity aVow. so they sEs to
be defeated.
